This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Abandoned

She took this case on from another attorney that was filled in October 2014 when she became ill. She took on the case she later stated she didn't even want to take this case on because she has had bad experiences with taking this attorneys cases before. How is that my problem? She took money and ...commited to the case. . It was a child support modification which then turned into a contempt of court case as well. She did not represent me effectively. She made statements to my Ex husband and didn't follow threw with what she said she was going to do. Hence my Ex husband was stringing her along. 9 months later she has gotten nothing accomplished and withdrew from my case. I felt and feel abandoned and unprotected by this attorney. She didn't come close to adequate representation. It was an awful experience and has caused more harm then good. She constantly spoke with my Ex husband. Having me write my own proposal to him. This just made him more agitated. She promised me just the week before due to high volume of cases that she was going to focus on this case more. Then she started telling me I should try to modify support with DSHS. What did I hire you for? Plus she kept changing directions and lost my W2 .... It took her 4 months to get my Ex husband's W2 in which she only got one year. Your supposed to get two. It was just awful and I'm so upset and she just made things worse. I'm devastated and this has caused a huge back lash on my Son who is a child of 17. And my self and my family. She not only didn't help me she totally dropped the ball. In her withdrawal her reasoning was false and did not make sense. My Ex thinks it's great! With this attorney who took the case over and now almost 2 years from when it was filled...It had gone on 9months with her...She accomplished nothing but more emotional pain to my self and my child It was the worst experience I have had with a lawyer. She bailed out right in She middle of my case..I asked her repeadly to go to court and file a contempt order against my X husband for unpaid child support. She refused but wanted to keep corresponding with my Ex husband dragging it out. I cannot express how disappointed I am.
